Some Idiot Congressman Comes Up With The Brightest Idea To Fight Global Warming: Get Rid Of The Trees

Rohrabacher is mentally retarded, much like most of those in the county that elected him.

I never realized it until I was an adult, being a little naive as a kid looking up to people in power, but now wonder wtf these people are doing in a government position.

I'm pretty sure it's gotten worse since you and I were kids, Apo.
This is frighteningly stupid. I wonder if there's a Republican in any powerful position who ever got higher than a D-, in ANY sciences, throughout their entire scholastic years.

Well, trees DO fix vastly more carbon out of the air during their growth stage, and rotting trees emit a ton, so clearing old dying trees in order to plant new trees does actually sort of make sense, kind of, over decades, oh god no my brain still hurts.

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed are kings.

This could totally work if we killed 7 electricity using, car driving humans for each tree we kill. Killing poor brown humans who live in huts doesn't count. It has to be 7 first world humans for each tree - then we have global warming/cooling equilibrium.

:literally jizzed in his pants at the thought:

...also, HUMMER drivers should be killed by having their HUMMER's driven over their retarded heads.

And I swear to god, if I see one more pick-up truck with 6 inch diesel stacks protruding from the bed, I will personally pants the owner and expose his lack of meep and meep to the world via humiliating internet photos of his lack of sufficient genitalia.

Also, deep fry anyone that owns a yacht in 500 gallons of boiling sweet crude oil.

If you're a NASCAR driver, team owner, advertiser, race organizer, fan or any other supporter/participant - you will have the choice to immediately cut off your own ballsack, or be intravenously injected with one gallon of Sunoco 94 octane.

If your tomatoes were grown in California and you live more than one state away from California - slit your own meeping throat. You are an idiot.

If you drive an electric vehicle that you charge with electricity from a coal plant - please screw 12 inch lag bolts firmly into each of your temples.

If you own a skyscraper that has all of the windows sealed and runs a heating/cooling system year round - you will be allowed to make one telephone call before 7 Nigerians are turned loose to rape you to death in your eye sockets.

If you live or work in one of these buildings, you'll be allowed 2 telephone calls before the above is applied.

If you drive an 18 wheeler that hauls plastic toys originating in China, from NY to California, you are sentenced to having your head shoved into one of your smoke stacks, with the engine idling, and held there until you stop twitching or 9 days have passed - whichever comes last.

If you live in Alaska, or somewhere similar, and have to have all of your food flown thousands of miles to a grocery store near you - you are sentenced to being drowned in a bucket of your own diarrhea.

If you live in a rural or semi-rural area and don't buy meat, milk, and seasonal veggies from local sources - Your legs should be pulled off with two Ford 9N tractors and you should then be beaten to death with them by a gang of beavers on meth.

If you are a senator, were a senator, are a banker, were a banker or have had your bills paid for by any of the preceding - you will be allowed to stab yourself in the face until death with a rust farm implement or gut yourself with a pitchfork on FOX News at 11 while reciting the pledge of allegiance.

people cut down old trees and plant new ones in their place all the time.

@teh_blintz0r

And the disposal of those old, rotten trees releases all that stored carbon back into the atmosphere.

@Xabu

As long as they are used as lumber for building purposes that is not necessarily a bad thing. It is when they are burnt that there is a problem. Even rotting down just converts the big chunks of carbon (trees) into little chunks (mulch and soil).

@Xabu
Once upon a time something interesting happened and

You know you are on Wotak's death list 60, if you....

Jeff Foxworthy, if you are reading, please don't reply or the list my just go to 61.

We have planted many trees in our little town. i am amazed at how large some of them have become in 10-15 years. it works, and makes a difference. just go do it.

Only if I can kill 12 first world resource hogs for each tree I plant.

Nothing new here. Doesn't anyone remember Ronald Reagan and James G. Watt?

Reagan, who held office from 1981 to 1989, once famously claimed that "trees cause more pollution than automobiles do." He appointed a development advocate, James G. Watt, as Interior secretary.
